Default Re: ($22) All-In on bubble? or sneak into 3rd?

If I'm not mistaken, the BB is already all-in blind which makes this a push. Why would I give the small stack a 50/50 shot of doubling up if you have a good hand to take him out. If called by someone else, you'll finish ITM if and only if BB beats both you and other caller AND other caller beats you're hand. If no one calls, you're risking only 215 chips to win 365 and end the bubble.

If BB has 301 chips, this changes my thinking process drastically.

Seat 2 is the button, and Seat 2 is the short-stack. I imagine he would not have posted this if the short-stack were already forced all-in at the BB.

The way its worded and formatted it looks like hero is UTG and seat 2 is BB.

i.e. "I need to clear both the tall stacks in order to steal succesfully."

Also the betting usually goes downward in the list of players.

Or maybe I'm just an idiot, which is a distinct possiblity.
